Chapter 888: Is the Tang treasury really empty?
"What? Brother Feng'er, you made two million taels of gold in three days?"
"No, no, right? I really made two million taels of gold?"
"If it was two million copper coins, I still believe it, but so much gold, it's impossible!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone present pricked up their ears and looked at Li Chengfeng.
They didn't believe that Li Chengfeng could make so much money in such a short period of time.
"Feng'er, war is a sturdy job, so don't you think about it and spend some money for the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng said righteously: "Father, first of all, I don't agree with you to attack Tubo and Turks this time. Secondly, I earned my money by myself. Why give it to you? You want money,
Go and make money by yourself! Children are always in charge of their father asking for money. This is the first time I heard that the emperor's father asked for money for his son!"
After Li Chengfeng said that Li Shimin's face was indeed not good-looking.
Li Shimin continued: "Feng'er, this war will be an unprecedented large-scale battle. Even in the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Emperor would not launch such a large-scale battle, so I have already started.
The national fundraising model is now, and all the people of the Tang Dynasty have money to contribute money and strongly to contribute. So, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn’t you spend some money?”
"Don't, Father, I advise you not to do stupid things! You can't solve internal troubles, so why should you take care of external worries?"
Anyway, Li Chengfeng did not support Li Shimin in going to war.
If you want your own money, there is no way!
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Oh, Feng'er's treasury is really empty. Why don't you support your father a little?"
"I don't believe it unless you take me to the treasury to see!"
"Okay, let's go, my father will take you to see now!"
"Okay, let's go together!"
Li Chengfeng didn't believe that the treasury of the great Tang Empire would be empty?
"I'll go too, Father, I want to go to the treasury to see it!"
As he said that, Li Lizhi also followed Li Chengfeng's pace.
Li Chengfeng turned his head and said to Xu Qingmo and others: "You guys play here for a while, and I will go out with my father!"
"Oh, then I'll wait for you to come back to fight Landlord, the Eighth Prince!"
Xu Qingmo is also an old gambling man.
She had no money, but she often sold things from the town palace to the ministers.
For example, you can buy a pack of spicy strips and a bottle of Coke for a lot of money.
Moreover, Empress Changsun also asked someone to come to ask for perfume for herself?
So Xu Qingmo took out the things to sell them for nothing, and bought hundreds of taels of gold directly!
If Li Chengfeng knew, Li Chengfeng would probably be dizzy on the spot.
Because, my own treasures are more than just a few hundred taels of gold?
I can only say that Xu Qingmo is too good at doing business.
And those ministers knew that there was a silly girl in the Zhenwang Mansion who stole the Eighth Prince's things every day and sold them for money.
So they waited at the back door of the backyard for no reason, and asked someone to go in and drag her letter to Xu Qingmo, ask her to bring things out, and then sell them cheaply.
Li Chengfeng has also found it strange recently. How can the snacks, perfumes, and many daily necessities in the Prince’s Mansion be consumed so quickly?
At first, Li Chengfeng thought that as there were more people living in it, the consumption would be faster.
Later, after Li Chengfeng learned the truth, he almost handled Xu Qingmo on the spot.
This little girl, I said, where did she get so much money?
It turned out that they were selling their own things for money?
Humph, it's just too much!
...
Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng and Li Shimin walked towards the direction of the imperial palace and treasury.
Along the way, Li Shimin suddenly said to Li Chengfeng seriously: "Feng'er, do you really think that your father would lead his troops so rashly to attack the Turks and Tubo?"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng also smiled and said, "Father, don't you know that this is your fishing law enforcement?"
"Fishing law enforcement, what does this mean?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Simple, it is to deliberately clear the dynasty's troops, then fish and catch people who want to rebel, right?"
"Hahaha, good boy, so you know?"
"Yes, so why do you want me to donate money? You are fighting a counterfeit war, so why do you want me to donate money?"
Li Chengfeng knew that Li Shimin had such tricks as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He wanted to deliberately use the name of war to suppress anti-Tang people in the Tang Dynasty.
This wave of Li Shimin is on the second floor, but in fact, Li Chengfeng is already on the fifth floor.
Li Shimin continued: "But Feng'er, war will come sooner or later. If the father does not attack Tubo and Turks, they will come sooner or later to attack our Tang Dynasty. Why not call them a weak stage and take down two major Gentiles in one fell swoop.
Where is the alien race?”
"Is this the reason why you asked me for money? Don't give it!"
No matter how ambitious Li Chengfeng was, he could not even take a penny from himself.
It is a great Emperor of Tang Dynasty to ask for money from his son? It is simply too much!
Afterwards, Li Chengfeng, Li Shimin and others finally arrived at the Tang Dynasty Treasury.
As soon as the treasury door is opened.
It's empty inside.
Apart from some old bronze artifacts and some ancient bamboo slips, there is nothing left!
Looking at the empty treasury, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Feng'er, in just one year, the father cleared the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, tens of millions of taels of gold! They were all donated to the suffering people.
Go! Feng'er, don't you feel sorry for me?"
"Really, empty?"
Li Lizhi also opened her mouth wide and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Li Chengfeng also frowned.
He knew that this was the Tang Dynasty treasury, although it was his first time to come to this place.
However, how could the Tang Dynasty Treasury suffer such a serious loss?
All the money is empty?
In this way, is Li Shimin not rich yet?
No, this old man is smart, just trying to use a bitter trick to cheat his own money!
"Oh, I also distributed grain and silver to the people according to Feng'er's request, retained the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, but cleared the treasury of the Tang Dynasty! Feng'er..."
"Hiss... No, Father, the treasury cannot be empty so quickly! There are weirdness, there must be weirdness!"
Li Chengfeng knew that many materials were left behind in the Sui Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the families of countless corrupt officials and wealthy officials of the Sui Dynasty were confiscated, and the money left behind was at least over 100 million.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty's treasury also had inexhaustible food to supply the Tang Dynasty.
If the new treasury was cleared, Li Chengfeng would believe it!
But what about the things left by the Sui Dynasty?
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but walk forward curiously.
Li Chengfeng came to a stone wall and suddenly found that an ancient dragon sculpture was engraved on the stone wall?
Li Chengfeng gently tapped the wall of the sculpture.
"Bang bang bang?"
"Damn it, is it hollow? Is it empty inside?"
So, Li Chengfeng turned his head and looked at Li Shimin with a smile, saying, "Father, is the national treasury gone, right?"
"Yes, didn't you see it?" Li Shimin said earnestly.
